After Action Report
The Lakers ran roughshod over the Jazz 128-108. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. The Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss; the Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
